Words From The Founder

I am pleased to welcome you to the Ship in a Flash website. My partner and I started an e-commerce business about 6 years ago, and we found shipping to be the greatest problem that we faced - both economically, and time-consuming. We learned throughout the years that we weren't the only ones who had this problem, as many people faced the same problem regarding logistics as well.

We wanted to provide a one-stop shipping solution to everyone - whether they are shipping just ONE package or many. Logistics is becoming an integral facet of daily life, and our goal is to provide total access to shipping no matter where people are or when they want to ship. Our online-based system allows you to view, and compare the best shipping rates that you can get from the major couriers, and offers pick ups from your location. Ship in a Flash (SIAF) does not deliver or pick up any packages; rather it's all done by your choice of courier.

Society is moving rather fast, and we understand that people are getting busier, and roads are getting more congested. Therefore, we wanted to offer a solution where people are able to manage, ship, and track in the comfort of their homes or offices. Let us take care your shipping needs today!.

Sincerely,

JJ Lam

Founder of Ship in a Flash (SIAF)

If you have a question, please email us at info@shipinaflash.com. We will get back to you shortly.

BILLING FAQ:

When you enter your credit card information into our system, an amount of $1 CAD will be placed on your card. This amount is used to verify that you are in fact the owner of the credit card. The amount is automatically refunded and normally takes 3-5 business days for the credit to appear on your credit card.

Unfortunately, a printer is required as you will need to print the generated shipping labels and documents. You can email the documents to a friend who has a printer, or use one at any of the Public Library locations.

At the moment, the SIAF online platform does not allow for international shipping except for USA. However, we do offer international shipping services, so please contact us at sandi@smdgroup.ca for more details or to get a quote.

You do have the option to drop off your package(s) at the nearest courier's retail locations. However, since pick-up is included with any label made with SIAF, there's no money to be saved by dropping it off.

All shipments must be packed in containers made of durable material and of quality sufficient to withstand handling on buses. All packages containing FRAGILE or PERISHABLE articles must be marked in large letters, preferably with appropriate labels. See Terms and Conditions of Purchase and Carriage for complete packaging requirements.

First, check if you have successfully scheduled a pickup. Creating a shipment doesn't automatically schedule a pickup. If you have requested a pick-up, then give us a call and we'll help you put in a new request.

Packages are never left at the door when the packages require a signature. However, packages without signature are left at the authority of the drivers.

For addresses with no signature, the driver has the authority to automatically leave the shipment without a signature if the location is reasonably determined to be safe and secure. If house is unsafe, then they will leave door tags with instructions on how to retrieve your package if you're not home.

If you have selected 1 pm to 4 pm, and it's passed the time that you have selected. Then the next step would be to call the courier directly, and referenced your pick up number. The driver may be delayed by traffic. You can also send us an email at sandi@shipinaflash.com with your concern, and we will call Purolator on your behalf.
